Shen Yao, who is pregnant, lives a more comfortable life than before.

Before, Shen Yao needed to find a reason not to go out, but now Shen Yao has a serious reason not to go out.

Everyone in the harem: Hey, how shameless.

Shameless Shen Yao was very happy in her heart, and no one else could do anything to her.

The key point is that the emperor dotes on her and the empress doesn't care. The two empress dowagers wanted to say something, but unfortunately, looking at Shen Yao's humble status as a noble, they thought she was not qualified to pay them respects.

This is terrible.

Just like that, by some strange coincidence, Shen Yao lived a leisurely life in Hehuan Palace alone, while Concubine Zheng, with her belly that was several months pregnant, rushed to various palaces every day.

After enduring this for two months, both of them were pregnant, but their complexions were really different.

Shen Yao was wearing a thick palace dress, a bright-colored cape, and her face was rosy. When she arrived at the palace banquet venue with a three-and-a-half-month-old belly, others were extremely envious.

Besides, in winter, it’s cold and everyone likes to wear thicker clothes.

Even though Shen Yao's belly was obviously bulging, it was still hard to tell.

However, Concubine Zheng, who was five months pregnant, had a sallow face that was unpleasant to the eye.

Even with a thick layer of powder, it still couldn't hide the haggard look on her face.

Shen Yao: ...What's the purpose of this?

Not understanding why Concubine Zheng didn't care about the child but instead used cosmetics so recklessly, Shen Yao took Qiuyue's hand and walked lightly to her seat and sat down.

"Hey, isn't this Concubine Xi? Concubine Xi is really a distinguished guest. Why is she out today?"

Shen Yao had just sat down, and before she could even drink a cup of hot water to quench her thirst, she heard a female voice mocking her.

Tsk, that was too blunt. Shen Yao didn't want to pay any attention to it.

What a lemon.

Looking up, motioning Qiuyue to pour her tea or water, Shen Yao sat firmly in her seat, not caring at all about the gazes from others.

There is no way. Ever since she was diagnosed with pregnancy, Shen Yao has not even gone to Fengyi Palace where she pays respects every three days. Others can only see Shen Yao in a dream.

The concubine who had spoken before became even angrier when she saw that Shen Yao ignored her.

A hint of ferocity appeared on his originally eye-catching face, and he couldn't help but start to speak in a suggestive manner.

“Some people become arrogant when they are successful, without even considering their origins or their worth.

Humph! You act without any sense and make people look down on you. "

Shen Yao:......

Shen Yao rolled her eyes gracefully, and at the same time, she placed the tea that she had identified as harmless by the system to her lips and took a sip.

In an instant, the warm current slowly rejuvenated the stiff body.

Shen Yao let out a breath, put down the teacup in her hand, turned around and gave a fake smile to the concubine beside her.

Even though Shen Yao is only a noble lady now, because she is pregnant, she deliberately sits in a position between the fourth-rank concubine and the fifth-rank imperial concubine.

The concubine who had just spoken ill of her was a concubine of the fifth rank, and coincidentally, had a slight relationship with Shen Yao.

"Empress Xin, you've been talking for a long time, don't you feel thirsty?"

Shen Yao felt that having too many women was really useless. They kept quarreling with each other all day long, making the harem a mess.

Just like the ferocious look on his face just now, every word he said was directed at her, Xinpin, wasn't it because she was more favored than the other party?

Oh, who can be blamed for this? Does it take some effort to discuss who the emperor likes?

"I always feel that it is most important to work hard to live a good life.

"I have met your Majesty less than five times, so why does your Majesty Xinpin dislike me so much?"

Before Concubine Xin could refute, Shen Yao said "oh" again, and suddenly realized, "It seems that I remembered it wrongly. It's not me that Concubine Xin dislikes, but the child in my belly."

He directly put a big hat on the other party and Shen Yao raised his head to look at the other party.

Sure enough, Xinpin was so angry at Shen Yao's words that she yelled "I don't have it". Not only did she alarm the people around Shen Yao, but also the people sitting at the top looked down.

Okay, Xinpin’s face turned red, and she looked at Shen Yao even more fiercely.

Shen Yao covered her mouth and chuckled, thinking that this guy was too stupid.

It was just a few words, but the defense was broken down like this, and everyone in the hall was summoned.

Tsk tsk tsk, Shen Yao sat obediently in her seat with her head down and kept silent, which made everyone who looked over feel confused and also deepened other people's impression of Shen Yao.

After what happened with Shen Yao, others who still wanted to talk to Shen Yao had to stop temporarily.

After all, no one can predict whether they can bear it in public if Xinpin's incident happens to them.

Shen Yao calmed down and simply ate some cakes and fruits on the table where the food had not yet been served.

They are all systematically identified to ensure that there is nothing that could threaten the body.

"Qiuyue, the person sitting opposite me is Concubine Zheng, right? Why does she look like that?"

Shen Yao talked while eating, occasionally looking up, chatting happily with Qiuyue beside her.

Qiuyue frowned when she saw Concubine Zheng, then lowered her head and said, "My master, you don't know that Concubine Zheng has been to the Empress Dowager's place many times in the past two months."

This does not include paying respects to Fengyi Palace and paying respects to the Empress Dowager in the West Palace.

Shen Yao was puzzled, "Why? Don't you want to take care of the baby?"

It's so dangerous outside, and she doesn't dare to use the system even though she has it. What is Concubine Zheng thinking?

Besides, it is a simple matter whether you talk to the emperor or the queen.

Don't think that not paying respects is a slap in the face of the queen. In fact, in the harem of the Dajing Dynasty, pregnant concubines never needed to pay respects. This was written in the palace rules.

Shen Yao just followed the palace rules perfectly, and no one could find any fault with her.

Qiuyue shook her head slightly and briefly talked about the relationship between Concubine Zheng and the Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace.

The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace was named Zheng. She was the legitimate wife of the retired emperor, but the eldest prince she gave birth to died early, so she had to raise the sixth prince.

Now that the emperor has ascended the throne, he has the help of the Empress Dowager Donggong.

However, the Empress Dowager Donggong had a bad relationship with her natal family. The reason was that when the Sixth Prince was choosing a princess, the Empress Dowager Donggong wanted to marry her niece from her natal family to him, and the two sides had already reached an agreement. However, the Empress Dowager Donggong's natal family was more optimistic about the Fourth Prince.

At that time, the fourth prince's wife had just passed away. The Zheng family kept the emperor in suspense while having an affair with the fourth prince. Finally, they simply married their daughter to the fourth prince's mansion as a concubine, waiting for the princess' mourning period to be over before becoming his principal wife.

But no one expected that the fourth prince would die in battle and Zheng's daughter would become a widow.

As for whether it's sideways or straight, it's insignificant in front of a child.

By the time the emperor ascended the throne, Concubine Zheng had simply died.

"What does this have to do with Concubine Zheng?" Shen Yao raised her eyebrows. "Concubine Zheng, is she from the Empress Dowager's family?"

Qiuyue shook her head and nodded again, "Not really. Concubine Zheng actually has no relationship with the Zheng family. She is just a cheap niece adopted by the Zheng family. When the daughter of the Zheng family married the fourth prince, Concubine Zheng was also sent to the emperor's private residence."

The result is self-evident. Concubine Zheng has not been favored for many years. Now that she is pregnant, she has to seek help from her backers in the harem.

The Empress Dowager of the Eastern Palace is the most suitable candidate for Concubine Zheng.

After figuring out the twists and turns here, Shen Yao was speechless. She thought to herself what the hell was going on. It felt like Xiao Yanchen was doing a miserable job as the emperor. He was like a rag collector, and none of the people sent in were very outstanding.

Shen Yao muttered and criticized herself at the same time.

Qiuyue had a strange expression on her face. "Master, the Queen Mother of the Eastern Palace doesn't like Concubine Zheng. What Concubine Zheng is doing is just in vain."

As soon as the incident that year came to light, the Empress Dowager Donggong severed her ties with the Zheng family.

After all, the Zheng family said that they were slapping the emperor in the face, but in fact they were trampling on the face of Empress Dowager Zheng.

Queen Mother Zheng was so proud that she directly announced that she would break off all ties with the Zheng family.

The fact that Concubine Zheng was sent to the emperor's private residence was a shameless act of the Zheng family and had nothing to do with Empress Dowager Zheng.

These days, Qiuyue used her connections in the harem to find out a lot of gossip about old events.

Seeing that her master wanted to listen, Qiuyue did not hold back, but opened her mouth and chattered non-stop.

Shen Yao listened with great interest, occasionally taking a sip of tea and commenting on the conversation. It was not until most people in the hall had arrived that the master and servant stopped talking, feeling unsatisfied.

"System, can the child be kept safe at Concubine Zheng's place?"

Although she didn't talk to Qiuyue, Shen Yao continued to chat with the system in her mind.

"It can't be saved. It has been marinated with medicine. I will have a miscarriage in two months at most."

The system spoke directly, and Shen Yao was not surprised at all by this conclusion.

Concubine Zheng's face looked so bad that she simply carved the words "My pregnancy will be affected" on her face.

That's it? Everyone knows it.

"Two months? Not bad, not bad. When Concubine Zheng can no longer hold on, the multiple babies in my belly will be exposed.

I will ask the emperor to arrange more people in Hehuan Palace. I will not step out of Hehuan Palace until the birth."

Shen Yao was arranging her own affairs and didn't think there was anything wrong with keeping a low profile.

She is just a little waste with a child-bearing system. She is a little smart but not much, so she can live a good life in the palace. Why does she have to go out to seek a sense of existence?

Before Shen Yao bound herself to the system to do the task, she had read quite a few novels.

In palace fighting stories like this, things like miscarriage and frame-up, wrestling in the imperial garden, and falling in the pond are all common occurrences.

Therefore, after Shen Yao confirmed that she was pregnant, she avoided contact with anyone except Xiao Yanchen, for fear that the fetus would become unstable and she would have to cry and ask Xiao Yanchen to make decisions for her.

The system is satisfied with the host's clear understanding. After all, giving birth to many children and raising them well is a sure win for the system.

The system even hopes that the host will lie in bed all day long.

“The host’s plan is good. As long as this baby is born, it will be of great help to the host’s subsequent tasks.

After all, it is not easy to have multiple pregnancies. The system can use technology to save the genes of the host's different bodies in various worlds. When the host arrives at the next mission world, they can exchange them for free, which can increase the pregnancy rate."

When Shen Yao heard what the system said, she immediately became interested, but before she could open her mouth to continue asking the system, she heard a voice saying "The Emperor has arrived."

Well, let’s just drop the topic and focus on the present.
